RELATED EXPERIENCE

2000-Present

I currently work for the internationally recognized artist Catherine Lee as her studio manager. Since 2000 I have assisted her in the fabrication of many ceramic and metal works. Through this association I have worked extensively in Texas, New York City, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Britain and Ireland where I have seen many consequential exhibitions and have a comprehensive knowledge of their rich museum collections and other cultural treasures.
